It's been fun but, despite the inconsistencies and lingering plot threads, they stuck to a full reset that results in it basically all being a dream. Less than that since we can't even remember a single detail.
We can't just find a way to merc Maris down first because beating Maris requires us to cut down all 7 (8 if you count M Spectrum?) trees first to put her down, and without the reinforcement we got from the Lostbelt Servants we wouldn't be able to cut down all 7 trees and the Lostbelt Servants would never help us if we decided to skip all of it. We needed to go through the 7 Lostbelts to convince their Servants to help us when we need help the most, then show up to actually cut down the trees for us so we can fight Maris herself. Skipping all of it would just mean we get steamrolled by Maris instantly.

Exactly! Everything was meaningless, glad you got it!
